Description-en: plugins for Gwyddion SPM analysis tool
Gwyddion is a modular program for Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) data
visualization and analysis. It is primarily intended for analysis of height
field data obtained by microscopy techniques like
* Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM),
* Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM),
* Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM),
* Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy (SNOM or NSOM)
and others. However, it can be used for arbitrary height field and
image analysis.
.
This package yet contains only sample plugins for Gwyddion in Python, Ruby
and Perl.
.
If you would like to extend Gwyddion's functionality, you are encouraged
to consider writing Gwyddion modules instead of plugins. For help on this, see
the package libgwyddion20-doc.
